Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated Hodgkin lymphoma.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 22 HIV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma patients in Chongqing University Cancer Hospital from December 2013 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Their clinical features, laboratory results, treatment, and prognosis were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to perform survival analysis.Results:The age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 22 patients was 44 years old (36 years old, 53 years old); 18 cases were male, 4 cases were female; clinical staging was stage Ⅲ in 5 patients and stage Ⅱ in 17 patients. All 22 patients were infected with HIV through sexual transmission, with 10 cases transmitted through man sex with man and 12 cases transmitted through heterosexual transmission. Nine patients were found to be infected with HIV at the time of diagnosis of lymphoma, and 13 patients presented with lymphoma at 22.2 months (12.3 months, 38.4 months) after diagnosis of HIV infection. Of the 22 patients, 3 abandoned treatment; 19 patients were treated with antiretroviral therapy combined with ABVD regimen chemotherapy, 9 patients had complete remission, and 10 patients had partial remission. After follow-up of 46.8 months (24.8 months, 64.5 months), the 5-year progression-free survival rate was 83.9%, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 89.5%. Conclusions:HIV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma exhibits an invasive process in clinical practice, and standardized antiretroviral therapy combined with ABVD regimen chemotherapy can lead to long-term survival for patients.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of applying Fetal Intelligent Navigation Echocardiography (FINE) combined with Virtual Intelligent Sonographer Assistance (VIS-Assistance ?) in the prenatal screening of right aortic arch (RAA) with left-sided ductus arteriosus (LDA). Methods:A total of 32 fetuses with RAA and LDA during middle and late pregnancy in Zhejiang University Medical College Affiliated Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital from Jauary 2018 to Jauary 2020 were included in this retrospective study, and the datas about fetal cardiac three-dimensional volume were analyzed. The time-space correlation imaging (STIC) volume data were collected by using FINE by Senior doctor A. The two diagnostic elements of the transverse aortic arch on the right side of the trachea and the "U" -shaped vascular ring, as well as the three-vessel tracheal diagnostic section were obtained by low-aged doctor B and middle-aged doctor C by using VIS-Assistance ? technology. And then the detection rates of diagnostic sections and diagnostic elements for fetuses with RAA and LDA were calculated. The postpartum outcomes of fetuses with RAA and LDA were followed up. Results:Thirty-two fetuses were included in the study after excluding 2 cases due to the poor quality images, and the datas about fetal cardiac three-dimensional volume of the 32 fetuses were analyzed. The detection rate of one diagnostic element (the aortic arch on the right side of the trachea) were 84.4% vs 87.5% before VIS-Assistance ?, and 93.8% vs 93.8% after VIS-Assistance ? for each doctor B and doctor C , respectively. Another diagnostic element ( "U" -shaped vascular ring) were 78.1% vs 87.3% before VIS-Assistance ?, and 90.6% vs 90.6% after VIS-Assistance ? for doctor B and doctor C, respectively. But no significant difference was found before and after VIS-Assistance ? between the two each doctors(all P>0.05). The detection rate of three-vascular tracheal diagnosis view were 65.6% vs 71.9% before VIS-Assistance ? and 84.4% vs 87.5% after VIS-Assistance ? for doctor B and doctor C, respectively. There was significant difference before and after VIS-Assistance ? of doctor C( P<0.05). The scores of image quality after VIS-Assistance ? were significantly higher than that before VIS-Assistance ? for doctor B and doctor C, respectively [3(2.5, 3) vs 3.25(3.0, 3.5), and 3(2.5, 3.5) vs 3.5(3.0, 3.5)]. The agreement between two doctors performing VIS-Assistance ? was investigated using Bland-Altman analysis and the result showed that within 95% of the differences fall in the agreement interval. No obvious clinical symptoms of compression were found in 32 neonates after follow-up. Conclusions:The application of FINE combined with VIS-Assistance ? technology can easily and reliably obtain the key diagnostic view of RAA with LDA (three-vessel and tracheal view), and clearly display all diagnostic elements, having high repeatability and stability. VIS-Assistance ? technology can improve the detection rate and image quality even if the doctor was lack of experience. So it can be used as an effective supplementary means for prenatal screening of RAA and LDA.

OBJECTIVE:To study the e ffects of stilbene glycoside c(TSG)on phosphorylation of Thr 205,Ser404 sites of Tau protein in Aizheimer ’s disease (AD)model mice ,and to investigate the potential anti-AD mechanism of TSG. METHODS :APP/ PS1/Tau three transgenes (3×Tg-AD)mice were randomly divided into model group ,positive control group (huperzine,0.15 mg/kg),TSG low-dose ,medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.033,0.1,0.3 g/kg),with 6 mice in each group. In addition ,6 C57BL/6J mice were chosen as normal control group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically. Model group and normal control group were given equal volume of normal saline intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 60 days. After last medication ,immunofluorescence staining was used to detect Tau protein and phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205, Ser404 sites) distribution and expression in brain tissue of mice in each group. Western blotting assay was used to detect phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)expression level in brain tissue of mice in each group. RESULTS :Compared with normal control group ,the expression of Tau protein,phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)in 729011126@qq.com the brain tissue of mice were increased in model group ,which were easy to aggregate and distributed more widely ;theirrelative expression were increased significantly (P<0.01). Results of Western blotting assay showed that the expression levels of phosphorylat ed Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)were increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,the expression of Tau protein ,phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites) in the brain tissue of mice were decreased in positive control group and TSG groups ;aggregation decreased,distribution narrowed and their relative expression were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Results of Western blotting assay showed that the expression levels of phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)were decreased significantly (P< 0.01). Compared with positive control group ,There was no significant difference in the distribution of Tau protein ,phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)in the brain tissue of mice in TSG groups ;the relative expression were not statistically significant(P>0.05);but Western blotting assay showed the expression levels of phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205 site)in TSG medium-dose and high-dose groups as well as the expression levels of phosphorylated Tau protein (Ser404 site)in TSG groups were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :TSG can play an anti-AD effect on AD model mice by down-regulating the expression of phosphorylated Tau protein (Thr205,Ser404 sites)in brain tissue.
